I made the "Aardvark Blue" a while back[1] to solve some of the problems that most color schemes have. The goal of this theme is that:

- colors are fairly natural

- background and black are distinct

- grays are naturally ordered avoiding full black

- light and dark colors are distinct from each other

- all colors look good on background, black, dark gray, gray, white

We use this for all the screenshots on https://ratatui.rs and https://github.com/ratatui/ratatui

It's available from the usual places https://iterm2colorschemes.com/, https://windowsterminalthemes.dev/?theme=Aardvark%20Blue, built in to ghostty, extension for vscode etc.

Funny thing, those are not "the usual places" I've ever heard of, and I care somewhat about color schemes. Each of us lives in our own bubble... (my bubble is not iterm2 and not windows)

iterm2colorschemes is a source for various other tools as it ports out to

"Terminal, Konsole, PuTTY, Xresources, XRDB, Remmina, Termite, XFCE, Tilda, FreeBSD VT, Terminator, Kitty, MobaXterm, LXTerminal, Microsoft's Windows Terminal, Visual Studio, Alacritty, Ghostty, and many more."

You may have used data from it without knowing about it.
